Last Week: We learned to solve problems with different bases using logarithms and practiced using logarithms for problems involving compound insurance.

 

This Week: We will solve problems using the natural logarithm involving continuous compound insurance. We will also use logarithms to solve problems with exponential decay.

 

Due by the end of the week: Compound Insurance sheet

 

Last Week: We learned about the unit circle.

 

This Week: We will learn to convert between Cartesian Coordinates and Polar Coordinates.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Last week: We learned to solve exponents with different, but related, bases.

 

This week: We will use logarithms to solve exponents with unrelated bases.

 

Due by the end of the week: Properties of Logarithms 2

 

Last week: We learned to use the trig identities to solve for missing angles in triangles.

 

This week: We will learn the parts of the Unit Circle and how it applies to math.

 

Due by the end of the week: Trig Identities (missing angles) sheet

Last week: We practiced applying the rules of exponents to problems with logarithms.

 

This week: We will practice new rules for solving exponents, then apply them to logarithms.

 

Due by the end of the week: Properties of Logarithms sheet

 

Last week: We took a quiz over Radian/Degree conversions and the 30-60-90 triangle and began learning about Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.

 

This week: We will continue learning uses for Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.

 

Due by the end of the week: Sin/Cos/Tan practice

Last week: We practiced finding the inverse functions using logarithms.

 

This week: We will take a quiz over inverse functions and begin learning how the rules of exponents apply to logarithms.

 

Due by the end of the week: Practice with Inverses sheet

 

Last week: We learned how to convert between radians and degrees, as well as the properties of the 30-60-90 triangle.

 

This week: We will learn the history and uses of Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.

 

Due by the end of the week: Radian/Degree conversion practice, 30-60-90 triangle practice

Before break: We learned the basics of logarithms and reviewed inverse equations.

 

This week: We will learn to find the inverse functions of logarithms and exponents.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

 

Before break: We finished our projects finding the volumes of concentric spheres.

 

This week: We are beginning our study of Trigonometry by learning about the relationship between radians and degrees.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Due to road and weather conditions, Westgate will be closed tomorrow. Enjoy the snow and stay safe and warm!

Due to weather, there will be no school tomorrow, Wednesday 3/13, for any Adams 12 schools. This may go without saying, but clubs for the day are also cancelled.

 

Last Week: We reviewed our knowledge of logarithms with a bingo game before taking a quiz.

 

This Week: We will continue our unit on logarithms, learning to graph them and learning to use them in more complex functions.

 

Due from last week: Logarithm quiz

 

 

Last Week: We used the diameters of planets to find their volume before beginning a larger project: using thicknesses of layers in and around the earth to find the volumes of those specific layers. Students are researching and creating models of either the earth's layers or the layers of the earth's atmosphere.

 

This Week: Students will continue working on their projects and papers.

 

Due from last week: Planet Volumes sheet

 

Last Week: Last week, we reviewed fractional exponents before learning how to change numbers from exponent to logarithm form (and vice versa).

 

This Week: We will continue our study of logarithms, learning the origin and uses of e and the natural logarithm.

 

Due from last week: Logarithm practice sheet

 

 

Last Week: After taking a quiz over the surface area of cones and cylinders, we began learning about the practical uses of using the volumes of spheres.

 

This Week: After wrapping up our work with spheres, we'll begin learning trigonometry.

 

Due from last week: Solutions to Gasses in a Balloon page
